Default Tuning Question

Have a question for the tuning gurus. Bowtech Allegiance, 70lbs, 29 inch draw, 340 FMJ 28 inches 125gr heads blazer vanes, trophy taker antelope rest, G-5 meta peep, whiskers and string loop, slick trick and muzzy broadheads(both shoot exactly the same).

Bought the bow in September, paper tuned after the string settled andended up movingthe rest all the way to the left to get a good tear. Is the center shot way left on these bows?Got it shooting through the paper and sighted in out to 50 yards.

Bow shoots great. Broadheads grouped with the field points out to 30 yards. At 40 yards the broadheads hit about 6 inches left of the field points? I haven't shot the broadheads at 50 yards and won't but bet it would be worse. For the season I just sighted the 40 yard pin to where the broadheads were hitting and didn't worry about it.

Now that the season is over i'm trying to figure out why? Went to the bowshop yesterday and shot through paper. At 10 yards I get a right tear, at 20 yards I get a perfect tear. I'm thinking I'm getting fletching contact with my cables, the only thing I can come up with. I can't move the rest any farther to the left, out of room. I shoot cock vane up and the only beef I have with this bow is that there is almost no cable clearance with blazer vanes. It is a fine line between keeping the fletch off of the cables or rest.

I put aSims slide on yesterday which seems tokeep the cables farther from the arrow but haven't shot yet.Had torun all over town tofind it. My pro shop was out of them.

Main questions would be why do I have good flight at 20 yards and broadheads hit left at 40 yards? Should the rest be this far to the left? Should I try a different tuning method. I like shooting and dinking with the bow so will try anything. I figure the arrows should group together at all distances and would like to get it set that way.
